that’s liberals for ya

Brexit isn’t apples to apples.

Just like it didn’t happen with the Confederacy, and that was more than one state.

And that’s what leads to instability and ultimately the collapse of that government. The reality of the situation is that a narrow referendum to leave Canada will be met with incredible resistance and it’s not going to happen.

A supermajority would be harder to resist both internally and externally. That’s the point.

This is a pretty naive vision of democracy, if I invite 4 friends over and 3 of them want to order shit instead of pizza, we’re not eating shit.

Democracy isn’t some magical decree from God that is a law of nature, people must consent to being governed.

Other things that steal wind include buildings and mountains. In service of big wind we must level our terrain and cities.

“Great powers” and those they prop up can bomb whoever they want, without a declaration of war.

Something normalized even under Obama.

Ah yes the most extreme right wing will surely care about law and order as well as indigenous treaties

People forget that crashes are a debugging tool indicating an error. Silent errors can be much more dangerous. C and C++ in particular need to be careful not to overwrite random memory for example.

Yes the consequences for JS failures are less severe and so JS can get away with it, but a crash is a way to know your program isn’t doing what you thought it was, properly.

It just so happens that JS is used in contexts where nobody really cares, and errors aren’t a big deal, cheap and fast wins.

i hate to say it but lemmy.ca is among the worst servers for bad uninformed takes. The Conservative won with over 80% of the vote share in that riding, PP is a coward for running there but he won’t come close to losing.

so you can do more of the shitty childish argumentation, exactly. It also saves thinking, so it’s easier on your feeble brain

You gotta automate the “meaningful arguments” so you can focus on the childish bullshit, huh?

Is this what a human mind is reduced to? We’re fucked.

The discussion in this thread is kinda shallow and weak. There’s a fair amount of overlap especially as the Conservatives have shifted further to try to reclaim some of their losses to the PPC, but you should be comparing their platforms not just taking peoples’ word.

There are indeed nuances, no surprise this community considers them the same, since they overlap in some “dealbreaker” ways for the average person here, but know your enemy…

This is like saying the NDP and Greens are the same, and arguably they’re closer than the PPC and Conservatives depending how you look.

Newspapers aren’t allowed to print whatever they want, news networks can’t straight up lie on TV, why are we obsessed with the idea that tech platforms need to be able to wash their hands of everything on their platform.

Maybe we don’t need the web to be full of user submitted content. I remember the early Internet, it was way better than what we have today.

As a Canadian I want to see everyone in this current administration face justice, and consequences for all of the fascist enablers, before the healing can even begin

I think the actual mechanism is that a Conservative member in a safe riding (very unlikely to lose to another party) would step down, triggering a by-election, and the party leader would run as the new Conservative candidate.

There’s a chance he would lose again

This is how the Overton window shifts right. Socialists need to be louder and more visible than ever.

Correct, but it’s not uncommon for party leaders to evict someone else from their party who did win in order to have a seat

It’s easy to miss but there are other words in the quote where he talks about his experience, get an adult to help you sound them out.

can we not speak like we have a two party system
